This area is characterized by old terraced cultivation plots that were repopulated with pine trees, creating one of the main forests in southern Europe. The classroom building was built in stone (schist and quartz), respecting local traditions.Abrucena is a small municipality located in the west of the province of Almeria, in the corridor between the Sierra de Baza and Sierra Nevada, being included in the Natural and National Park of Sierra Nevada, one of the natural paradises of Andalusia for its landscape, botanical, faunistic and anthropological richness.
The village, located at the foot of the mountains, offers the typical image of the villages of Arab origin, with narrow winding streets with whitewashed houses built one next to the other with flat roofs.
